- Abstract
The aim of the study was conducted survey of notifiable diseases (DNC's) in farm animals occurred in the period from 2011 to 2014 in the state of Maranhão, using state condensates of monthly reports, initial disease investigation form (FORM-INs) and complementary disease research form (FORM-COMs) of the State Agricultural Defense Agency. During this period, they evaluated 165 cases of suspected DNC's, classified into three categories: (I) nerve disease (EN), (II) vesicular diseases (EV) and (III) other diseases (DE). During the study period, the EN led notifications (n= 119; 72.12%), followed by EV (n = 30; 18,19) and DE (n = 16; 9.69%), the three distributed a vast area of Maranhão territory. Considering the suspected cases observed in this study, the definitive diagnosis of 63 DNC's was established, including rabies, botulism, clostridial diseases, smallpox, stomatitis vesicular type Indiana III, MCF, ectima contagious and glanders, with the involvement of cattle, horses, donkeys, mules and goats. The remaining patients (n = 102; 61.81%) after thorough investigation, were classified as non-traumatic diseases or infectious origin and discarded the possibility of DNC's. Based on the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that the DNC's are present in the state of Maranhão. However, the incipient active surveillance hinders a real assessment of the problem in the state.
